Strand Has Fine Show In Colors Diggers of Broadway' Has Smashing Cli- max Winnie Lightner Steals Picture "The Gold Diggers of Broadway" have staked out a claim at the Strand this week and have struck a rich vein of precious' entertainment metal. Here is the -David Belasco-Ina Claire farce of several seasons ago all tricked out in a lavish new dress that almost makes it unrecognizable as an old f.lend. Here is the Avery Hopwood -David to the fastest and almost colorful climax that we have seen since the advent of the talkies.

We saw "Goid Diggers" at a midnight preview Friday night when there were not more than 25 or 30 persons scattered through the theater. Admittedly it is difficult to gauge the value of a picture under such circumstances; one should see a picture with a full house in attendance to get the real audience react.ou. But when the picture built up to its smashing, whirlwind climax we were amazed to suddenly find ourself sitting on the edge of our seat applauding enthusiastically. We looked around us and every one of that small audience watching the screening was doing exactly the same thing. We would ask no better guarantee of worth than this for, with the single exception of the prev.ew of "The Cock Eyed World" a few weeks ago, we have never before seen a preview audience warm to a picture sufficiently to be moved to applause.

Diggers of Broadway" is the second all-talking, technicolor extravaganza to be released by Warner Brothers, With the a vast Show." its improvement predecessor. It is staged in the best musical comedy manner and even goes the musical comedy field one better in lavishness of sets and production. True, it has its dreary stretchesbut who ever saw a musical comedy without them? In "Gold Diggers' these few slow scenes are more than offset by the many highly entertaining sequences to be seen in its unreeling. The musical score is well above the average of other revusical talkies to date and we have no hesitancy in predicting that "Painting Clouds with Sunshine," and "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" will soon be among the country's major radio evils. "Gold Diggers" is also distinguished by as nice a bit of grand larceny as we have had the pleasure to see in many a day.

Miss Winnie Lightner. a welcome recruit, from the fold of George White's "Scandals." is responsible for the piracy, stealing the show with a minimum of effort from such splendid revue performers 2151 Ann Pennington, Nick Lucas. Lilyan Tashman and Nancy Welford. Miss Lightner is not what might be described as a subtle comedienne. She is distinctly lowbrow but you'll have a grand time laughing at her fooleries if you will just park yo.ur old Yankee conservatism behind the clock on the "Gold mantle Diggers." before you set to see Nick Lucas does the heavy ballad work in the show--in fact he is used SO often that he begins to become wearisome after his first half dozen numbers.

And delightful little Ann Pennington is as entrancing as ever in her few opportunities to hypnotize with her twinkling feet. If "Gold Diggers" had no, other claim on our interest it would linger Jong in our memory as the first picture in which we have ever seen Conway Tearle act like a human being. Mr. Tearle contributes ore of the high spots in the performance in that delightful scene wherein he skates skillfully er the thin ice that separates tipsiness from drunkenness. Here is a new and a delightful Con-a" Tearle.

Oh ves. as though "'Gold Diggers" was not enough for one afternoon Or evening. Manager Finn has booked a short comedy act featur.nz EI Brendel. the Swede comic of "The Cock Eyed World," Nuff sad! A. J.

In the accidents two persons were hurt sufficiently to need medical attention and one driver will be presented in Police Court Monday for having bad brakes.

Cushions, sides and top of the coupe were burned and glass in its windows was broken when efforts were made to put the blaze out. Kallenbach used his topcoat to whip out some of the flames.

Others who helped him used pails of water flung through the broken windows. When the fire was over, Kallenbach a telephone through which to ask friends in Plainville to tow nts machine home. The phone he picked at about 3 a. m. was in the home Deputy Chief Eugene Barnes of the fire department.

Fast Revue Is Feature At Capitol 'Indian Summer' Best of Presentations This Season-William Haines in 'Speedway' "Indian Summer" is the best Fanchon and Marco unit that has been booked into the Capitol so far this season. With Betty Lou Webb presiding in an engaging fashion as master of ceremonies and with Worthy Hills and Bill Jones alternately wielding the baton in direction of the house orchestra which is working on the stage with the unit this week.

the stage show moves along at faster clip than have any of the previous presentations. Muriel Stryker, the dancer who created a sensation by doing a routine with her body entirely covered with 2. bronze paint in the Ziegfeld "Follies" a few seasons ago, does the same bronze dance as a climax to the current miniature revue. McDonald and Dayton offer as hilarious an interlude of rough and tumble comedy a.S this reviewer has seen in many a day. Lillian Price easily captures her share of the honors with her impersonation of Fannie Brice doing her "Oi, O1.

I'm an Indian" number and Chief Eagle Feather, resplendent in pure white Indian costume, does some intricate tap dancing routines. Gaines Brothers are one of the features of the unit and earn every bit of their applause for the whirlwind acrobatic routine that they present, and Victor Valente is pleasing in his song numbers. All of these features, set against the colorful background provided by the well and well-trained Fanchon and Marco ballet, provide almost an hour of solid entertainment such as has not graced the Capitol stage for many weeks. On the screen William Haines is featured in "Speedway," 8 thrilling story of automobile racers which was filmed against the authentic background of the famous Indianapolis track during the 500 mile racing classic last Decoration Day. Haines plays in his usual wisecracking manner for comedy.

"Speedwav" has no talking sequences but has a svnchronized score and sound effects. Particularly effective were shots track showing the powerful little single-seated racing cars roaring around the track and recording the full-throated drone of their motors. Anita Page, playing the feminine lead as an aviator, and Haines provide a punch for moviegoers in a thrilling airplane crash and parachute jump and the racing scenes show several shots of daredevil crackUps. Ernest Torrence does good character work 2.5 a veteran racing driver and Karl Dane provides comedy relief. as does Polly Moran.

John Milian plays the villain in a pleasing sinister manner. The current issue of Fox Movietone News. with some thirst -arousing scenes front Paris, and other short subjects complete a program at the Canitol which we think 18 well worth secing. A. J.

Two Heroes Share Honor With York Sergeant Bernard Early, New Haven and Otis B. Meriwether, Bridgeport to Attend Reunion New Haven, Sept, Among the three men who share with Sergeant Alvin C.

York the honor of partic'pating in one of the most heroic episodes of the World War are two Connecticut residents, Sergeant Bernard Early, of this city and Otis B. Merithew, of Bridgeport, who enlisted under the name of William B. Cutting. Merithew's identity has only just been disclosed to the public. It came about when York and his six surviving comrades were invited by the Army War College to go to Washington October 4 for their first reunion since the war and to attend the annual military exposition at the war college.

meth are whereabouts known of and three their of invita- the tions were returned to Washington unopened. Enlisted as When Merithew received his he was work.ng as an employee of the Brookline (Mass.) Highway Department and he approached his superintendent, Daniel Lacy, with a request for time off. Asked the reason, according to the Associated Press, he reluctantly produced a letter from the war college inviting him to the exposition. It was then revealed that Merithew and Corporal William B. Cutting, as he is mentioned in Sergeant York's book, are one and the same person.

Wounded, he fought beside the sergeant on the day when they killed 29 Germans and captured 132. Merithew said he had enlisted in Army under an assumed name "for particular reason." He was living at that time in Bridgeport. After the war, he wrote the War Department giving his true name, but he never made a public explanation until yesterday. Honor. A trick of fate turned the spotlight of publicity and glory away from Early and full upon York after the exploit.

York went back to Tennessee hailed as the greatest individual hero of the war and York didn't deny it. Later evidence, however, showed that Early was entitled to just as much honor. Early was In command of the outfit, composed mostly of Englanders, which took part in the attack and capture or the 132 Germans. He was wounded during the engagement and York took command, returning with the prisoners to the rear American lines. An American magazine writer jumped at the opportunity presented for producing just such an individual hero of the war as the American public had been looking.
